Becoming a flawless raider

[i]Note: This video is of the last 15 minutes of the raid (PlayStation capture).[/i] This is by no means a guide, but below are the steps my fireteam and I used to obtain the 'Flawless Raider' achievement/trophy: [b]Raid:[/b] • Crota's End | Level 30 (Normal) [b]Fireteam:[/b] • 3 Titans and 3 Hunters, all level 32 • Each with a fully upgraded rocket launcher with a good supply of ammo. [i]Note: We decided we wanted at least 2 Titans and 1 Hunter for this tactic.[/i] [b]Missions:[/b] [b]• Abyss:[/b] We had a Hunter with invisibility buffed (Including the 'Don't Touch Me' gauntlets) and Mida Multi-tool equipped (For the increased agility) solo this part, while the remaining five stayed at the beginning. We discovered this was the both the fastest and lowest risk method due to unpredictable thrall attacks that may kill someone and the random deaths that would occur when first descending into the Abyss. [i]Note: [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8RSd-o_1j8]Here's a video on how to solo the Abyss without attacking[/url].[/i] [b]• Bridge:[/b] First we discussed the order of which we would cross the bridge and assigned ourselves a number i.e. 'Third Sword'. We placed 2 people on each of the 3 areas needed to form the bridge (Left totem, right totem and the middle plate). The first three people crossing the bridge were on different areas from each other so no area was left empty once they had crossed. We collectively took down each Swordbearer as well as any nearby enemies making sure we called out the sword number once it was dropped. The priority for the first person crossing the bridge was to take down the Gatekeeper, 3 downward slashes (R2 or RT) is all that is required. Then they they needed to quickly move their focus to the single Hallowed Boomer Knight, as this enemy can easily kill the next person carrying the sword while they are dealing with the Gatekeeper. Two rockets and a few sniper shots was the fastest and safest method. [i]Note: Repeat this for the next two people crossing the bridge.[/i] Once three people had crossed we each mirrored the positions we had on the initial side of the bridge to maintain its formation, allowing the remaining three people to move around to attack and defend for efficiently. We would call out Knights and Wizards positions as they appeared to eliminate them as quickly as possible. [b][i]Note: The video starts here.[/i][/b] After the final person had crossed we deformed the bridge and took out enemies and ultimately the two Ogres that spawn, completing this part of the raid. [b]• Thrallway:[/b] We held a position just outside the door taking out the Thralls (Cursed Thrall were the priority), one person was tasked with taking out the Shriekers. Using a single rocket and sometimes a few bullets after to be sure, we waited for the Shrieker to explode then had a Titan use their Ward of Dawn Bubble to protect us from the Shrieker death blast. We advanced forward and took out the next Shrieker using our second Titans bubble for cover. We then made our way to the end of the hallway, clearing all of the enemies before dropping down into the Crota area. [b]• Ir Yût, the Deathsinger:[/b] Next we assigned two people (one for the left side and one for the right side) the task of both drawing out the Wizards from the crystal room and then killing the Shrieker. The remaining four would split up and head to either the left or right tower to take down their sides Wizard. Once the Shriekers were killed we had everyone move to one side (The right side: if you were looking at were Crota first appears from the crystal room), we focussed on just the weaker enemies clearing as much as possible before Ir Yût began her Liturgy of Ruin. Once this begins Ir Yût will stay in the same position making it very easy to kill her. We had each Titan place their bubble beside each others (one with Weapons of Light and the other with Blessing of Light) to act as a wall barrier and we carefully took her down with rockets. We then moved back outside to clear the remaining enemies. [i]Note: We made sure we could complete this part 3 times in a row without anyone dying before starting the raid.[/i]] [b]• Crota, Son of Oryx:[/b] We decided to use the left door for this part as apposed to the usual middle platform so we could control the Swordbearers movements much easier and assigned one or two people the job of dealing with the Knights in the tower and on the bridge area near Crota. We took down the first Swordbearer and dropped Crota twice, putting around 6 or 7 clean hits into him – which take about 50% of his health. We waited for Crota return to the middle before doing the same and completing the raid. Apologies for the long post, the important things to take from this are: • [b]Communicate at all times[/b] • [b]Make sure everyone is clear what their roles are[/b] • [b]Practice each stage with your fireteam, to make sure your tactic is working[/b] • [b]Be prepared to go back to orbit and start over many times[/b] Good luck.
